welll, its amazing what an 80 shot can do. finished the nitrous install last night, single fogger wet shot, 80hp. took it out for the test drive, coming through the freeway onramp i was in 2nd gear at 3000rpm, and hit the button. DAMN did it get up and go, that car ran like a raped ape! quickly i went for 3rd gear....the clutch goes to the floor and flops around. turns out i completly tanked the clutch and pressure plate on that one squeeze. 80hp of nitrous makes much more than 80lbs of torque, well over 100 actually. this was the original clutch so i wasnt too suprised, just dissapointed i didnt get more than one gear on the bottle...but god what a gear it was! anyway, looking at the SPEC clutches, anyone heard bad things about them? thanks guys.

my car is a 2000 with 85k on it, i purchased it at 60k. the clutch was the original one, so i knew its days were numbered. 85k on a stock clutch, not bad id say....still, it was amazing, one gear of nitrous and it TANKED, im talking done, wont even go in gear now lol.
